Proverbs Chapter 1

[1] The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;[2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;[3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;[4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.[5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels[6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.[7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and instruction.[8] My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother[9] For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.[10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.[11] If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause[12] Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit[13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil[14] Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse[15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path[16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.[17] Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.[18] And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.[19] So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.[20] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets[21] She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates in the city she uttereth her words, saying,[22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?[23] Turn you at my reproof behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.[24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;[25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof[26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;[27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.[28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me[29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD[30] They would none of my counsel they despised all my reproof.[31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.[32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.[33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
